Description

Analyzed by scholars, deployed by Mexican nationalists, beloved by the general public, and reproduced in each and every medium and scale since its rediscovery in 1790, the Aztec Calendar Stone, or Piedra del Sol, has grow to be essentially the most recognizable Pre-Columbian monument. Commissioned by the Mexican emperor Motecuhzoma I within the last decades before the Spanish invasion of the New World and buried by the conquerors not long afterward, the Aztec Calendar Stone has had a far-reaching afterlife within the up to date world.
The Aztec Calendar Stone includes an extended scholarly introduction and a collection of twenty-one key sources dating from 1581 to the current in this massive and puzzling sculpture–including works by Antonio de Leon y Gama, Alfredo Chavero, Eduard Seler, Hermann Beyer, Carlos Navarrete and Doris Heyden, Cecelia Klein, H. B. Nicholson, Felipe Solis, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, and others–many published here for the primary time in English.
